Hi everyone! Trying to keep my spirits up but it's been hard. The chest and gas pain make it difficult to imagine recovering. I still can't believe I did it. My biggest fears are: complications and not actually losing weight. How come many of you are experiencing little to no weight loss and what advice have you received since to help you along? I'm scared of this new journey... It feels unknown right now. Hoping to lean on you all to get me through this

I'm tired, I miss eating, I am questioning my decision and I'm trying to be positive but tonight sadness, regret and loneliness is taking over. I'm walking trying to get the gas pain down while I'm crying uncontrollably and feeling so down on myself. I hate this recovery. I thought I could toughen through it but I can't. I want this out! I can't see past the pain! I miss my boyfriend who I can't talk to about this bc he didn't support it to begin with, and I can't stop reading about all the complications and problems people still have, months later! I swear I am this close to just giving this up. Maybe it's not for me. Help!!!

My problem today is probably emotional a it is physical. My bf thought I was making 'the biggest regret of my life' and he did not support me at all. Mostly because I have lets say about 30-35 pounds to lose and therefore in his eyes I didint need surgery. I did it anyway, after a lot of thinking and looking back on my weight struggles since I was 8 years old (I'm 35) and didn't want to live the next 35 Years the same. So since the surgery i have been at my moms not far from where he lives. He has text me, but no phone call and no plan to visit. No I did say to him go on vacation cuz my recovery ain't gonna be pretty, but I'm feeling lonely and disconnected from him. I want to tell him to come, but then again I AM in rough shape, I am not myself and part of my doesn't want him to see me like this. Would like to hear what u all have to say about this...

I'm on day 3 now and I think what's frustrating the most is the gas pain. It is never ending for me except when I sleep. Then I wake up and it's like even more pain. It subsides but its still always there. I'm supposed to take my gauze off but I'm too scared. What I don't like is knowing there is a foreign object in me, and I can't predict the future. I can only try..

Hello any torontonians out there! I could really use some mentoring so if there's anyone out there, please let me know!
